Select "go to the Microsoft Store" under the "Switch to" link on the page. Microsoft asked for €99 for the upgrade. Likewise, if you have Windows 10 Pro in S mode, you may upgrade to Windows 10 Pro for free. If you have Windows 10 Home in S mode, you may upgrade to Windows 10 Home for free. The offered version depends on the current edition of Windows. It should highlight the version of Windows at the top (again Windows 10 Home in S mode in the case of the device that I used), and the Activation status (usually activated with a digital license).īelow that you see options to switch to full versions of Windows. Select Windows Update > Activation to display the operating system's activation status. If you prefer to use the menu, select Start > Settings instead. Open the Settings application with the shortcut Windows-I. Step 1: Open Activation in the Settings application A restart is not required and the whole operation takes less than ten minutes to complete. The process is straightforward once you know what to do. Microsoft's operating system did not display tips or a suggestion in regards to turning the S version into a full version. The system on the screenshot above returned Windows 10 Home in S mode. Windows displays the version underneath the copyright line in the program window that opens. Open the Start Menu, type winver, and select the result ( Tip: see a list of Windows tools like winver here). One option to do so is to use the built-in tool winver. The very first thing that you may want to do is verify the version of the operating system. Note: While you can turn an S mode edition to Home or Pro, you cannot go back to S mode once you have made the change unless you wipe the device and start from scratch. I bought the 128 Gigabyte SSD 8 Gigabyte of RAM version, an extra Surface Go Type Cover, and a USB-C to USB 3.x and 2.x adapter.Īnyway, the very first thing I did after I completed the initial setup was to figure out how to turn the Surface Go into a full Windows operating system. Microsoft's Surface Go is 10" 2-in-1 tablet that comes preinstalled with Windows 10 S. While some users may not mind, if you just use Office and the Internet, you may not mind that you cannot install Win32 apps, I do mind and it affects my buying decision. All legacy Win32 programs don't run on Windows 10 S. Why? Because Windows 10 S limits you to what is installed by default, the Microsoft Store, and web applications.
